NBO - 12 Days of Summer BIF

aha

 

Love seeing the pR0n so far. Looking forward to midnight or tomorrow. depending on how I feel. I had a pretty nice bottle share last night. I think all of you will appreciate it. Everyone brought 2 bottles and had them wrapped before hand and we poured them blind. It made it pretty fun. People had some interesting wrapping choices.



And here is the lineup after we drank them all.



My highlight for sure was the Casey Saison. I need more from that brewery in my life. I also really liked the fresh dark lord, the plum la bonte from wicked weed and the tired hands guillemot. A friend and new BA, @captainkrad brought the FFF beers. Good think I have a day off before this BIF.

 

catching up, only on page 81, you beasts, but congrats!!!!!! Well deserved!

 

So after the little confusion with one of the boxes, I came home last night to both of the boxes at my house thank god! I can't wait for tomorrow!


3 new extras for me to tick which all sound really good.


And now for the 12 days, this is gonna be a blast! Thx so much @BubalooBrewMaster really looking forward to what I've got coming!
Cheers

 

Man I thought I sent a good box but after looking at all of yalls..... I'm out of my league.


Good work guys!

 

Voted as the biggest BS post of the year!

 

I can only see the cap of one of my 12 days bottles and I already disagree. I've seen the boxes you've sent out, they put mine to shame.

 

I've thought the same thing looking at a few of these posts.

 

After I got @core42 box I was like uht ohs.

I didn't kill it w extras but I always try to send boxes I'd be excited with!

 

On truck for delivery!! Christmas miracle!


Greg is out of the dog house for now.

 

Greg should definetly still be in the dog house! @NickyPogs is the MAN!

 

He is the man!!!! I thanked him like 922&3&2781 times and will be getting some presents

 

I feel like @NickyPogs and Greg are two big horn sheep battling for Erika's hand. From the Push up contest (point Nicky), the shipping debacle (point Nicky) it is 2-0. Greg needs to go on a run here

 

Sounds about right. .

 

I am going to deduct a point from Nicky for vomiting at the Bottleshare though...tightening things up....Nicky 1 - Greg 0

 

Alright since no one else will call you out for it. All you send is Hill Farmstead, Tree House, OEC, etc. C'mon man!

Drew that's hilarious.

 

Hahahaaha need to find better things to send

I didn't know he threw up at the bottle share?!?!

 

WARNING: Big pRon ahead. Long post.

I started opening the boxes I received yesterday and I'm a little pissed actually. Since my sender still has not revealed him(her)self and no hints have pointed directly to them, I was really hoping for a note in these boxes. Or, at the very least, I could narrow it down geographically based on what was in the boxes. No such luck.

First box:


Saucony Creek Schnickelfritz - is a want
Growler of (crap forgot to write it down)
Mystery bottle. It's big, really big. Like the biggest.

BTW, that's only 3 check-ins @LehighAce06.........

Next up: the biggest box of beer ever sent. It's a multiple boxes within a box. 12oz bottle next to it for scale.

Swag:


Adroit Theory Teku
Pizza Boy Snifter
Pizza Boy Haters Tears

And then this cool ass growler bag!

I'm starting to think my sender is a Pennsylvania boy.......


......nah, I know the #PMB makes sure they are well represented everywhere, could be anybody.

Now Beer:

FW Bretta Rose - my first barrelworks, and I will have #properglassware since I've been sent their teku in the past. BIG want
NYFRB -can never get enough
Spring House Rustic Farmhouse Saison Red Zin Brett Raspberry and Cherry - Cherry isn't even listed on BA!!?
Pappy Blood Lust - I liked the base, but this has to be great.
Intangible Ales Acidulated Hive - sound great, looks like some guys here have rated it good too.



Odd Side Citra Ass Down - huge want because I love me some Citra hops.
Shorts Hopstache - a want.
Bells Uranaus, Saturn & Mercury - never had any of this series, very excited.
Lost Abbey Serpents Stout - this is a long time I want and '13 to boot.
WB Gose - permawant
FatHeads Head Hunter & Sunshine Daydream - very nice......



Wrapped bottle with no day #?
Bodhi growler- damn. BIG want
White Rajah - big want too
Fiddlehead Second Fiddle - want
Orpheus Transmigration of Souls - want
Coffee Bender - permawant - love the coffee nose and flavor in this. Can't ever get enough
Pizza Boy Murren River crowler - I saw someone drinking this a little while ago and he liked it, so I added to my wants....just can't remember who though.......
Pliny & Blind Pig - Whoa. Pliny is one of my fav beers, and Blind Pig was a wishlist item. Now I can side by side them like I've always wanted to do.
Growler of unknown origin - leaked a little (very small dribble), and threw in fridge immediately. Probably just the temperature swing.
Elysian Superfuzz Blood Orange Pale ale - another want.
Rare DOS - a want
CW 17 Chocolate Mint stout - holy shit another want.

It almost seems that my sender has been stalking me for quite a while, hell I bet I even interact with him enough for him to know this much about me. I feel like I'm getting closer.........can't wait to finally figure it out, because HUGE thanks are in order. Incredible box(es) Sender (Rick Rowlf perhaps????), thank you so much.

And I haven't even unwrapped the 12 days yet......


TL;DR - WHOA. 31 beers and 3 glass in this box. Boing.

 

I'm headed to a buddies wedding tonight. The beer lineup is a keg of Pizza Boy Trung Latte, keg of Pizza Boy Pizza Chaser, sixtel of Yard Brawler, sixtel of Ithaca Cruiser, sixtel of Fresh Squeezed and 3F Oude Gueuze for the toast.

I hope @dmbforever took it easy on me on day one...

 

That's why he could do so many pushups...he was a lot lighter than Greg after clearing his stomach of delicious nectar. #fibstyle
